Having an Anita Blake book in the house that I haven't read is like having a stone in my shoe.

I assure you, if it is the most recent one, reading it will be rather like having a stone in your shoe, as well. A stone that just keeps having sex over and over and over again.

I just finished that one, in like 2 days flat. According to the blurb in the back, the next one comes out sometime this month :D

Normally after I read one of those books its like "okay, now how many months do I have to wait for the next one?" I'm lucky I'm not as addicted to the HP books.

It makes you just want to open your house and throw it out onto the sidewalk?

It's hard to admit it because I'm afraid everyone will hate me for being stupid but...I like the Anita Blake books, even the later ones. The pron works for me. My only complaint is the proportions: there's about enough story for a short story, and since I actually like the stories, I want more story and less pron.

I'm not a very critical reader. I react to books emotionally, not intellectually.

I've now read my first (and presumably last) Anita Blake book, Guilty Pleasures. I emphatically don't think people are stupid for liking them, and at the same time, I completely despised this one. I didn't like the character, the writing, the set-up, the plot, or the pacing. I finished it only out of some kind of sick fascination, waiting to see if there was anything I would like.

*sigh*
